Authors' conclusion

Fluid accumulation is significantly associated with MAKE30 in critically ill patients. This association is independent from pre-existing CKD and strongest in patients with AKI stage 3.

Study context

Population
Adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sufficient data to compute fluid accumulation (FA) and MAKE301,100 (8.3%) met FA definition
Participants

Exposure
Fluid accumulation vs no FA at ICU day 3
  • FAn = 1,100
Outcome
Major adverse kidney events in the first 30 days after ICU admission (MAKE30)
Follow-up
